Journal ArticleDOI

Association analyses of more than 140,000 men identify 63 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci

Fredrick R. Schumacher, +207 more
- 11 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: A large meta-analysis combining genome-wide and custom high-density genotyping array data identifies 63 new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer, enhancing fine-mapping efforts and providing insights into the underlying biology of PrCa1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 23 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci using the iCOGS custom genotyping array

Rosalind A. Eeles, +156 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a custom Illumina array (iCOGS) was used to genotype 211,155 SNPs in blood DNA from 25,074 prostate cancer cases and 24,272 controls from the international PRACTICAL Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer

Stig E. Bojesen, +455 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, SNPs at the TERT locus in breast, ovarian and BRCA1 mutation carrier cancer cases and controls and leukocyte telomere measurements are analyzed to find associations cluster into three independent peaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of 87,040 individuals identifies 23 new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer

Ali Amin Al Olama, +179 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: These findings provide new regions for investigation into the pathogenesis of prostate cancer and demonstrate the usefulness of combining ancestrally diverse populations to discover risk loci for disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seven prostate cancer susceptibility loci identified by a multi-stage genome-wide association study

Zsofia Kote-Jarai, +144 more
- 01 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: The results of stage 3 are reported, in which 1,536 SNPs are evaluated in 4,574 individuals with prostate cancer (cases) and 4,164 controls and a SNP in TERT more strongly associated with PrCa than that previously reported is identified.
